At present, the local area has fully entered the rainy season. The continuous rainy weather combined with high temperatures has significantly slowed down the progress of outdoor pipelines and infrastructure construction, and terminal purchases have only maintained sporadic and necessary replenishment. The daily output of 321 stainless steel sheet merchants is only several tens of tons, and the transaction volume has significantly shrunk, with a significant gap compared to the normal level. The purchasing pace of end-users has slowed down, bulk order locking behavior has basically disappeared, the pressure on merchants' capital turnover has increased, and the观望 atmosphere in the 321 stainless steel sheet market is intense， with overall confidence being weak.

Supply and profit： The willingness of 321 stainless steel sheet factories to maintain prices is still present， but the profit margin is continuously compressed.

From the supply side， the upstream 321 stainless steel sheet factories have a strong willingness to maintain prices and stabilize prices， and the factory prices remain relatively firm. However， the weak demand from the downstream forces the spot market to offer discounts for sales， and the bargaining space in the 321 stainless steel sheet market continues to expand. A significant price gap has formed between factory prices and market prices， and the price differences between the buying and selling ends of traders have continuously narrowed， resulting in continuous compression of profit margins and significant business pressure. The trading situation in the 321 stainless steel sheet market is sluggish， with prominent contradictions between supply and demand， and the resistance for merchants to sell has significantly increased. Pessimism has spread.

Short-term outlook： The impact of the rainy season will not change， and the price will continue to decline weakly.

In the short term， there are no obvious signs of improvement in the rainy season weather， and the terminal demand is difficult to recover. The willingness of 321 stainless steel sheet factories to maintain prices cannot be effectively transmitted to the spot market. Merchants still adopt the main operation strategy of offering discounts to reduce inventory and recover funds， and the transaction situation is unlikely to improve. It is expected that the 321 stainless steel sheet price will maintain a weak downward trend in the short term. In terms of operation， it is recommended to purchase as needed and strictly control inventory risks.
